| Pigs in Peasedown - 14th May '08 |

An
innovative new art form has reached Peasedown Youth Club thanks to
sponsor Gail Coleshill. The Youngsters have taken delivery of one of
King Bladud's pigs to add to the growing number of pigs to be seen in Bath. This is an exciting project to add artistic interest to Bath and North East Somerset and has the added benefit of fundraising for the Two Tunnels Cycle route which will enable
Peasedown people to cycle safely into Bath.
Gail with Rebecca Long, young people from the centre and 'the pig'.
Artist
in residence Rebecca Long of Writhlington school has already been given
some interesting ideas for its decoration. She said "I can't tell you
yet what the theme will be but you can be sure it will be a very
smart pig."
Gail Coleshill is pleased to support the project being a keen cyclist herself.
She
said "The nicest thing about this is that Peasedown youngsters will be
designing the pig with the help of a talented local student who also
lives in the village. It will be a proper Peasedown Pig."
The
project follows on from other artistic projects at the Youth Club.
Youngsters have just completed a silk painted Banner advertising the
Peasedown Fun Day in July.
